"I am a consumer whore." "And how!"
lab today was long and tedious. I like my new lab partner but am slowly starting to loathe my new TA. ah well, that's how it goes. Do I have lecture tomorrow? i'm not sure. if I do, i'd better get to sleep. and if I don't, I should sleep anyway, cuz I have German at 10:30. dar.
i wish i had more energy to blog, because i have fun things to say. kinda. well, at any rate, i'm going to sleep. night-o.
your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to a kitchen chair
she broke your throne, she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew
the hallelujah...
Rufus Wainwright - Hallelujah

oh wow.
I've forgotten what it is to be close to God. Will somebody remind me?
Honestly, now. How can everybody in the world be close to God? There's so many of us, and only one of Him. But He definitely has the power. If He created the universe, don't you think that He would have set it up so that a relationship with Him is vital to your soul's existence? But why does He want to have a relationship with me? Lowly, insignificant me? He created me; He already knows everything there is to know about me, from my most honorable moment to my darkest of sins. What else can he possibly want? And if that is indeed what he wants, what the HECK am I doing putzing around and wasting my time?
This is bothering me, and undoubtedly the other people around me too, because I've been pestering them about their beliefs.
too much thought for tonight. Need to chill out.
"don't be too influenced by other people, but if you feel that you should go back to religion, then do it."
the river of doubt gave birth to a beautiful stone
and in my hand i held it
and i knew i was on my own
so i picked it up
and i held it to the sky
and in my reflection i knew i was all alone
then i saw this girl with the most beautiful hair
she had it wrapped around her
for clothes she did not wear
i asked her for a lock, and she complied
after leaving gorgeous footsteps in the sand
as if she didn't care...

they're going to take away my Flooble Chatterbox if no one posts in it. oh well, I think its time is up anyway. stupid popups.
i was SO TIRED during both of my classes today. I need to get on top of things, seriously, and not stay up so late at night. bad me.
lunch time, gotta leave soon.
i want you, i need you
there ain't no way i'm ever gonna love you
now don't be sad

here's to blogging in the new year! for me and for my blogging buddies. you know who you are.
i've kinda been slacking on this page and I feel it's time to play catch-up with my life as it is at this moment.
first off: evaluation of my first quarter at college. ... it was good. no, really. i mean, at first i complained a lot, but really, it was just me adjusting. now that i'm back in o-town, i'm really excited to get back to my life in seattle. i miss my friends down my hall, the ones I was just starting to get close to during finals week. i miss my roommates (ShortOne more than SpongeBob, granted, but what can you do). i miss visiting south campus and eating soft serve and late-night cafeteria food, and watching south park and sealab 2021 on laptops, and being eternally online, and bubble tea runs, and German class, and Briazz New York Roma sandwiches, and Buffalo Exchange, and the bus system, and coffee and snacks on my meal card, and and and. i'm excited for next quarter classes, which are more of the same, really (German, Chemistry, Honors and a seminar), but i feel more capable of handling them now, (though 1st quarter grades were surprisingly decent. plus my chem class is no longer at 5:30 at night, so i'll attend more often, and the prof will be better - there is no other way because the last prof was the dumbest person i've ever met, I tell you no lies. i'm glad to be rid of my first honors class, though - man that lady was boring.)
but leaving oly again has certain complications - no car at school, for one. and i leave my friends behind, though not really because they're all off to college too, for the most part.
more to follow.

just got back from Vancouver, WA. Good times had by all, even though sometime during the 12-hour fest it began to snow, so people couldn't leave, and the people who were trying to show up got stuck on the roads. lots of junk/fast food eaten due to being in a hurry and not wanting to cook. bleh.
I should go to the office and put in a few hours... they need a receptionist. alright, step one: finding nice clothes to wear. (I left most of mine at college.)
old man river said
"you can go your own way
if you just leave him alone"
do not deliver all your things today
we are going home
oh by the way now so hungry
I got bats in the belfry
I'm in the kitchen, boiling society
I'm in the open catching all the leaves
we all see what we want

ah, college. A place where you lose the friends you thought you'd always know, and you find friends you never knew you had. "Can I have another hug?" Priceless.
The plan for tomorrow (since I finished with finals today) is to chill out for awhile. Run some errands. Just play it cool, yo? Totally.
yay for being done with finals!! 'Twil be tres cool to hang out at home and not do anything. Main goals are to arrange a song for my acapella group and to finish the sweater for the Scrub. Also to see all the old friends - woot!
mm Tim's potato chips. original, no other. tasty.
man, you take your laptop all over campus for ONE DAY and certain buttons on the right side stop working. arrgh.
do you think butter labeled "Dec. 13" was okay to melt over popcorn tonight?
Definitely time for bed. Definitely. Most definitely.
Still listening to "Birdhouse in your Soul". I'm obsessed.

Darth Vader: I will have the penne a la arabiata.
Canteen Boy: You'll need a tray.
DV: Do you know who I am?
CB: Do you know who I am?
DV:This is not a game of "who-the-f*** are you," for I am Vader. Darth Vader. Lord Vader. I can kill you with a single thought.
CB: Well, you'll still need a tray.
DV: No I will not need a tray, I do not need a tray to kill you. I can kill you without a tray, with the power of the force which is strong within me. Even though I could kill you with a tray if I so wished, for I would hack at your neck with the thin bit until the blood flowed on the canteen floor...
CB: No, the food is hot, you'll need a tray to put the food on.
DV: Oh, I see, the food is hot, I did not realize, haha, haha. Oh, take the.. yes. I thought you were challenging me to a fight to the death.

what a wasted 12 hours.
the coolest thing about this song is the chord changes from line to line. DL it and check it out.
I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
but I'm a little glowing friend
but really I'm not actually your friend,
but I am
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
who watches over you
make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it:
say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
make a little birdhouse in your soul
I've got a secret to tell
from my electrical well
it's a simple message and I'm leaving out
the whistles and bells
so the room must listen to me
filibuster vigilantly
My name is blue canary one-word
spelled l-i-t-e
My story's infinite
like the Longines Symphonette
it doesn't rest
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
who watches over you
make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it:
say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
make a little birdhouse in your soul
I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
but I'm a little glowing friend
but really I'm not actually your friend,
but I am
There's a picture opposite me
of my primitive ancestry
which stood on rocky shores and
Kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot
I'd be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off and
countless screaming argonauts
Bluebird of friendliness
like guardian angels
its always near
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
who watches over you
make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it:
say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
make a little birdhouse in your soul
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
who watches over you
make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it:
say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
make a little birdhouse in your soul
(and while you're at it
leave the nite lite on inside that
birdhouse in your soul)
Not to put too fine a point on it:
say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
make a little birdhouse in your soul

ooooh. Finals. Watch out.
I have a final paper to write, plus another research paper. Then there are two finals, one Saturday and one Monday. Some homework due Wednesday. I am going to die.
But hey, in a week, this gloom they call Autumn Quarter will come to a close, and I will be done. Woot.
Actually, life here is getting better by the day. I definitely feel more connected. Saturday evening was fantastic, mostly because I had my a cappella concert. The show itself was okay - I always enjoy singing - but the part that made me just overjoyed was the fact that so many people I knew came to see me perform. There were, of course, my high school buds, like Manzanita and Teasa and Possum Boy, but there were also new friends, like Q and BB, and LilHusky, and the clustermates of the high school buddies, and it all made me feel so loved. I couldn't believe how connected and "at home" I felt. I love familar faces.
We chose Secret Santas today, and I got this guy I don't really know. Ah well, Circuit City GiftCard time! Guys, tell me if you wouldn't use that. Or perhaps Best Buy... which is better?
I finally bought the Billy Joel CD I've been wanting for forever and a day - it's called Fantasies and Delusions: Music for Solo Piano. It is absolutely gorgeous. It was only 7 bucks - a nice change from the $20 it was when it first came out.
Just got back a half hour ago from bubble tea with a guy I met in the DC++ hUb. Smart thing to do? Prolly not. Fun? Definitely. nice guy, that Brahms. Screen names are so misleading.
til later.
I tried to discover a little something to make me sweeter
oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
i'm so in love with you
i'll be forever blue
that you give no reason
you know you're making me work so hard
that you give me no soul
i hear you calling
oh baby please
give a little respect to me
and if I should falter
would you open your arms out to me
we could make love not war
and live with peace in our hearts
i'm so in love with you
i'd be forever blue
what reason could drive a man to forsake his lover
that you tell me no soul
i hear you calling
oh baby please
give a little respect to me
